Petition for MSU night game next season

Saw this petition getting kicked around on the interwebs and thought I'd post to see what the board thinks. Personally, as awesome as the night game was against Notre Dame, I don't really want an entire day for sparty juggaloes to get drunk and destroy our beautiful campus. Thoughts?

This is absurd and a tired meme. They are our in-state rival whom we compete against for recruits as well as our main competition for the division title. Not to mention that whole 4 in a row thing.

There are valid concerns about an MSU night game. Yours isn't one of them.

"the Spirit of Michigan...is based on a deathless loyalty to Michigan and all her ways....and a conviction that nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours" - Fielding Yost

I hate this meme almost as much as I hate Sparty. They don't need our validation. They beat us four straight. They played for the Big Ten title, and would have been in the Rose Bowl any year other than 2011.

You know what I hate? Saying "they would have went to the Rose Bowl any other year than 2011." It is what whiney Spartans say who are butthurt about having the best 4 year span of their lifetime and still not going to the Rose Bowl. These are the same people who bitch about Michigan going to a BCS bowl when they weren't eligible. Guess what....it was 2011 and they didn't go to the Rose Bowl. Again. They will deserve our respect when they stop judging their success on what Michigan does every year.

Why I don't like the idea of a night game against Ohio or MSU. After the MSU game last year I almost got in a fight with a State fan, and he was obviously trying to get in one with me. I was able to get away from the guy, but I couldn't help to think it would be much worse after a night game. After 7 more hours of drinking, the fans would likely be a lot rowdier. I liked the idea of doing the game against Notre Dame, because the fans are still very dedicated, but they're less aggresive than MSU and OSU fans.

But I'm in agreement with you- after their last visit under the light of day, I can't imagine them running around town in mass after midnight, after having a full day to drink. Get them home by nightfall.

I lived in Seattle for 5 years and loved watching the games at 9am on Sat morning. Get up, roll down to the Rocksport and have a large omlette and watch the game. No waiting nervously for kickoff. Then party down all day after a W.

I don't understand why everyone thinks noon is so early. Especially the students who just have to walk over to the stadium.

Nebraska games are played in November so it can't be against them. Ohio is out as well since they are in November. Agree that night games against ND and PAC would be fun, and also would be great weather as well.

I don't believe there is any guarantee that the Nebraska game will always take place in November. In fact, I would be in favor of moving it up in the schedule, especially in years where we take road trips to both Lincoln and Colombus.
